The Stuff That Nightmares are Made Of

Larry Ellison Predicts a Future Surveillance State, where AI will Keep Police and CITIZENS on their “Best Behavior” [More]

Los Angeles should tell the Philospher Kings everything they need to know about how easy it is to burn their world to the ground.

If he persists, I may just transfer some funds from tech stocks to a more basic commodity

Meanwhile, Across the Pond

Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, said it was “a total disgrace” that Axel Rudakubana was “easily able to order a knife on Amazon” despite being aged 17 and having a conviction for violence. It is illegal to sell knives to under-18s. [More]

The stupid slag would mandate limiting non-governmental humanity to pre-Neanderthal technology.

I would not die for these people so would therefore be against any American being sent to die for these people.

The Benevolent Dictator

The Archivist of the United States, charged with officially publishing ratified amendments, has confirmed that the ERA was not ratified and based that analysis on binding legal precedent. There is no 28th Amendment. [More]

So if his handlers can just declare it’s “the law of the land” in violation of the Constitution, at what point do we have not just the right, but the duty to rebel?

Meanwhile, Across the Pond…

They’re oblivious to what unforgiveable Nazis deserving of being chased away howling they are, aren’t they?

My Mom always wondered what it was her kid brother died for.

Why are we still committed to defending this tyranny again…? I’d not only not die for these people, I wouldn’t even send them a gun.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Come for the benefits and soft targets, stay for the underaged girls!

And more!

Paging Tommy Lee…

Montenegro Considers ‘Complete’ Gun Ban After 12 Shot Dead [More]

You know what? Montenegro? I don’t give a damn. Let ’em. Fools.

And you know going after the “illegal” ones means they’re mostly going to persecute nonviolent citizens who want to protect themselves in spite of all the bull$h!+ restrictions.

Unsecuring the Blessings of Liberty

Because alleged domestic abusers pose a clear threat of violence, the measure is constitutional under the high court’s United States v. Rahimi ruling, Judge Jerry E. Smith said for the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. [More]

If they’re “alleged,” that hasn’t been proven and depriving them of their rights is tyranny.

If it has been proven that they pose a clear threat, leaving them free to victimize is unconscionable.

Any government that would do this to its citizens has delegitimized itself.

Three Thousand Tyrants

With ‘the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House’ to return, gun-safety groups eye state level actions [More]

Everybody remembers the Benjamin Martin quote, right?

Which is exactly why this needs to be a priority:

Imagine now the Department of Justice under an actual Second Amendment advocate, and what it could do fighting infringements and prohibitionist lawfare waged by states with unlimited tax war chests in tandem with Astroturf prohibitionist groups funded by antigun elites. Right now, the costs to defend against these innumerable assaults on all levels are borne by gun rights groups and members of mostly modest means who can only support a fraction of what is needed. That equation could be turned on its head.

If it’s not, we’ll know our best friend conned us and our “gun rights leaders” never asked him for it.

Know the Enemy

Spetsnaz, Russian Mercenaries, and American Commandoes in Syria [More]

Dr. Miguel Faria give us an excerpt from his book Stalin, Mao, Communism, and the 21st Century Aftermath in Russia and China.

As an aside because this made me think of it, war on home turf is not the romantic stuff of fiction, anonymous keyboard commandos boldly calling for CW2 notwithstanding. I believe the reason we have not seen it here –yet — is because the Second Amendment is working, not just against individual predators, but on a societal level. As Thomas Paine observed:

[A]rms, like law, discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property… Horrid mischief would ensue were one-half the world deprived of the use of them…

Our duty is to keep that horrid mischief from taking over. And rejecting the peaceable means bequeathed to us by the Founders that we yet have and doing nothing but rattling sabers and complaining undermines that.

We’re the Only Ones Tactical Enough

U.S. Forest Service (USFS) special agent Travis Lunders arrived at their ranch without warning, armed and in full tactical gear, to serve the couple separate grand jury indictments. [More]

Let’s make it about Travis.

And let’s keep an eye on who Trump appoints to take over USFS, and which prosecutions are in order.

ATF to Big Brother: Hold Our Beer

Did you know that every time you search for guns or ammo online, someone’s watching? Well you probably already know, but if you think it’s just the algorithms that feed you ads, think again—the ATF is also watching your searches. Worse, they use your digital activity to shape bans and enforcement actions. And no, we’re not fear mongering here. Published reports confirm that your searches are being tracked, analyzed, and even used to forecast so-called “threats.” [Watch]

The question then becomes what do Donald Trump and whomever he appoints to head the Bureau intend to do about this?

TSA Facial Recognition Scanning Spreading, Part of Planned ‘Across The Board’ Biometric Future [More]

Get your own SKU/QR code!

And just imagine the AI-enhanced deep fake/identity theft opportunities for hackers and those let into the system with bribes!

The ultimate goal, of course, isn’t just to categorize travelers. How many millions of unvetted illegal immigrants are occupying territory in this country again who won’t be affected one bit…?

We’re the Only Ones Roid-Raging Enough

Terrence Murray, 31, was charged with one count of assault and battery on a family or household member, one count of improper storage of a firearm, one count of vandalizing property, and two counts of possessing steroids and testosterone, which are class E drugs… [More]

And if he pulled this on you and you put him down your life would be effectively over.

[Via Edmund M]

And Jess sent me this, but when I looked saw it’s from 2016. Still…

Evidently the frustrated animal’s name is Jason Woods. A verbal warning to him is like a “F*** you” to the citizen he threatened, and his co-thugs standing around not yanking his leash deserve lashes as well.

I know, it’s not fair to judge until you goose-stepped a mile in their jackboots, but correspondent Doc S puts things in perspective.

We’re the Only Ones Pummeling Enough

The office of New York’s attorney general released body camera footage Friday showing the fatal beating of a state prisoner this month by correctional officers who punched and kicked him repeatedly while he was handcuffed on an infirmary bed. [More]

Maybe he lifted a finger

Y’notice these things always seem to happen under Democrat rule…?

Sing it, George!

Charlie’s Idea of Great R&R

New Vietnamese internet rules requiring Facebook and TikTok to verify user identities and hand over data to authorities came into force on Wednesday, in what critics say is the latest attack on freedom of expression. [More]

Start small, using “for the children,” and take it from there.

Who says we can’t learn from other cultures?

Raid on Innocent Family Shows ATF Tyranny Must Be a Priority for Trump

This is where citizens could really use some of those pledges of Second Amendment protection we heard along the campaign trail from Donald Trump, and from every Republican in Congress who won their seat because of gun owner support. [More]

The new administration, through orders to subordinates, and the Republican-controlled Congress, with the power to subpoena and investigate, could do much to stop citizen abuse — if they want to.

We’re the Only Ones Accomodating Enough

Upside Down World: Police Arrest Homeowner for Evicting Squatter… A deputy condescendingly lectured Hale, “Just think of it from this perspective, though. Everybody isn’t as fortunate as you to have a bed. All the little things, a bed in their house, food in the kitchen.” [More]

If the law does nothing but turn citizens into criminals, why would anyone be “law-abiding”? Fear?

That works both ways and guess who has the numbers
